Welcome!

Welcome everyone to the real-time blog capturing the debate between Christopher Hitchens and William Lane Craig on the question: "Does God Exist?"

We will be encapsulating the remarks from the debate floor as they happen, so you can read all the main arguments and objections from each of our participants tonight. In the next few days, we will also make recordings of the debate available for purchase. if you haven't done so, please sign up at http://www.doesgodexistdebate.com/ for email updates as to when these items will be available.

The debate is being held at Biola University. It is hosted by Craig Hazen with Hugh Hewitt as the moderator. The debate will begin at 7:30 PM Pacific Daylight time.

This should be fun, in a pass-the-popcorn sort of way. I really can't get too excited about it from a debate standpoint, though: Hitchens has no idea how to frame an argument. I wonder why people on his side keep asking him to do these debates...?
